The Open Problem Of The Computer Virus Problem

A Virus is a piece of malicious code that has the intent to damage your system.

As we know virus protection software is a code written by one of the programing languages that we know. This code works as a search engine looking for infected files in the entire system or specific locations on the system. The idea depends on two important factors which are, search engine and viruses’ data base. The following scenario explains how people get viruses and how virus protection software works.

Computer virus is a program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the user. Viruses perform some type of harmful activity such as accessing private information or corrupting

A virus is an infecting agent. Viruses are non-living they need a living host, a living organism to replicate themselves. When it invades a cell it will implant their code that is capable of copying itself. This will cause a detrimental effect, corrupting the system ti its advantage or complete destruction.

a type of virus that spreads itself, not only from file to file, but also from computer to computer. the primary difference between a virus and a worm is that a virus must attach to something. such as an executable file, in order to spread. worms do not need to attach to anything to spread and can tunnel themselves into computers.

Abstract— In this paper you will learn when virus was made and how they are made and how they work. You should also get the understanding of the different types of virus and the implementation of virus.

Computer viruses have been around just about as long as the personal computer has existed. With the advent of the Internet, the ability of viruses to rapidly spread has increased substantially. Despite this increase in capability to infect large numbers of computers across international borders, the definition of a computer virus has not substantially changed over

The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the huge problem that the world is facing when it comes to malware and the infection of the world’s large smart phone community. In the world today there are over 7 billion phones that is at risk, I will be looking to identify some of the threats. We will also tackle the issue of combating the attacks of malware. Malware can be very costly and dangerous to the everyday person. Apple machine was once thought to safe from malware and viruses; however, the security of the Apple that was perceived by most has come to a halt. Earlier this year in January, a new tech support scam found its way onto iMacs and MacBook’s, and froze the user’s system by repeatedly opening iTunes. The installed malware

One of the best science fiction/ comedy book that I have ever read was N.E.R.D.S The Villain Virus by Michael Buckley.with all 305 pages that put you in the description of a really awesome book that has some comedic effect with the plot.And don’t forget about all the villains that are in there cools ones or not so cool ones.If you were to rate this book I would say 8 out of 10 I like it that much.

Viruses and worms are malicious programs that self-replicate on computers or through computer systems without the user being cognizant. Worms are a series programs that repeat themselves from system to system minus the use of a host fie. Worms use methods to infiltrate remote computers and launch replicas of themselves like email messages or coping files to an accessible disk. A computer virus is a

Computer viruses are minute program which is “embedded inside an application or within a data file which can copy itself into another program“(Adams et al, 2008 ) for the sole determination of meddling with normal computer operations. The consequences may range from corruption and deletion of data; propagation of virus on to network and deployment through attachments through emails in order to further creating havoc to all associated computing devices.

A computer virus is created when a programmer creates computer code that has the capability to replicate itself, hide, and watch for a certain event to occur, and/or deliver a destructive or prankish payload on a disk or in a computer program. Viruses can attach themselves to just about any type of file and are spread as infected files are used by other computers. Some viruses are relatively harmless, while others are very devastating. They can destroy files, software, program applications, and cause the loss of data. New computer viruses are constantly being created by malicious programmers. Because of this, it is vital to keep anti-virus software on computers up-to-date. Some anti-virus software programs allow users to set them to silently check for updates whenever users are connected to the Internet. Others remind users to periodically check for updates. Worms and Trojans are closely related to viruses. A worm makes copies of itself on a computer, rather than infecting other files like viruses. A Trojan is a program that secretly installs itself on a computer and opens a back door to the computer so that malicious attacks can be remotely

There are special viruses that creates different types of malicious problems on a network or computer, for instance it will create or open programs to perform tasks. Viruses is also used for denial of service attacks, password cracking and many more. This can be fought against by having a reliable protection service; it is safer if this is taken from the provider itself.

Many types of computer virus has been spreading in computers since 1960. The first a computer virus discovered in 1970 and called The Creeper virus on Arpanet browser (anon, 2013)

The main aim of this research is to analyze different approaches to the problem of virus spreading and propose new methods which are based on the comprehensive analysis of previous solutions. This paper outlines pros and cons of three models such as susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS), susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) and susceptible-inflected-removed-antidotal (SIRA). From this survey we could make a conclusion that all existing models mentioned above are appropriate for computer network protection from the virus spreading problem. However, all these approaches have a number of disadvantages. So, in terms of lack of safety in computers protection from virus spreading new solutions should be found.
